REDLINE || Monday, July 20, 2015

Good morning! In the news today: Obama is seeking to ban millions of Social Security recipients from owning guns; Trump doubles down on McCain; illegal immigrants flowing in under Obama; UN approves Iran deal; support for gay marriage declines after ruling; and the shark that missed.

Have a great day.

Obama may ban millions of seniors from owning guns . . . The Obama administration wants to keep people collecting Social Security benefits from owning guns if it is determined they are unable to manage their own affairs.

I’m not aware that seniors are holding up 7-Elevens. They may need to defend themselves, though.

Surprise, surprise–care tationed for old people. Stunner! Old people also can’t have guns if someone else does things for them–what if that person needs to defend their charge against an intruder? That would soon morph to no one over 70 can own a gun–too shaky, bad eyesight, don’tcha know? We have to watch these people every second.

AfVet You are correct. This is another gun grab. I know lots of over 70 folks that have helpers cause they have trouble walking or seeing. That does not mean they should have their rights taken away!
Only the evil ObamaMohamed would want this.

If you read the Medicare rationing thing–you see mention of a proposal or idea or something that people should get a big fund of Medicare money and pay for any treatments they can get docs to give them. I say let’s look at this puppy more carefully.

“FBI recovers Mohammods drug diary”, headline on Drudge Report. Hmmm, I trust no one these days so….did they “plant” it ? Just like the Milwaukee police chief said, they will try to muddle the water between the killings and Islam.

I agree, srdem, I smell a rat here. And, what happened with the facts of a 7 months long trip to Jordan, the long beard, the odd statements on the Internet, the victims were all US soldiers ? Not relevant anymore ?

Its called whitewashing the Muslims again by Obama and his band of theives. No problem, no terror here??? what?? Its just a kid who was depressed on drugs who took 5 hero lives and injured others, depression huh? Glad they got him. May he rot in hell.

Also, were is the discussion about the mental health of the “Confederate Flag”-killer ? So, he was all sane and healthy and aware of his deeds ? Well, if he was a troubled youth, a depressed drug addict with a “drug diary”, then all those flags couldn´t be confiscated. I see….

Contrary to the implications that the elderly are likely to go on shooting rampages and should be protected, this proposal is to confiscate GUN COLLECTIONS that might be passed on to heirs without any transfer of ownership.
Gramp’s gun collection is probably not registered nor can ownership be verified.

MrTrump vs SenMcCain’s hero status:
No, there’s no “firestorm” of a backlash against MrTrump’s comments, but there is a new consideration of the definition of “hero”.
No one doubts that SenMcCain was tortured while in captivity and endured unspeakable treatment by the VietCong during the war. However, millions of other Americans suffered the fate of tortured POW status, too, without the lifelong honor of being considered a “hero”.

I am of the opinion that Mr. Trump was clumsy with his words, but also that these words were not, not surprisingly, accurately reported. This include the three x Trump said McCain was a hero. But I agree with you srdem65.

But I heard the whole thing–it was accurate. He rambled on about how McCain should be defeated–vote against him, Arizona, he said–he said he could be defeated if someone good ran against him–there was a lot there… (I know–many on this list agree with the McCain should not be re-elected thing–but I am not going with out of context on that quote. Now he says “I like people who were captured”–that sounds assinine.

It’s true Trump is a clumsy speaker, but passionately believes his own words. Nicey-nice words aren’t going to save our republic and he’s brought the plight of mistreated veterans to the front of the national conversation.

Sen.McCain was a hostage 50 years ago, were is his compassion for those held in Iran today?

He blasted the “agreement” on MoJoe this AM, tho no mention of the hostages–he said he agreed with Bibi on the thing. He also said Trump owed him no apology, but he suggested some vets he knew to whom service and bravery was the high pt of their lives–they deserved an apology, he said. He also said even while in prison, he and the others got inspiration to hang on from soldiers they knew and considered heroes.

As we watch the MSM, members of the political Establishment, and Presidential candidates all running around holding up their petticoats and decrying Trump’s “words”, as they like to say, I am reminded of this little song from The Music Man:

“Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little,
Cheep cheep cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more
Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little,
Cheep cheep cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more
Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little,…………”

Speech code?
As far as the gun issue.
That is another issue that is going to violate many people.
There are illegals running around robbing, killing with a stolen gun.
However grandpa is going to get a knock on the door. Give me your guns!
One of my grandfathers was older and did not serve in WWII. He never owned a gun in his life. He died of Alziemer’s.
My other grandfather served in WWII. Never kept a gun with him after the war. He died of heart troubles, and kept his mind. The bottom line is it was my families concern of fellow family members. Not the Government. When is someone going to tell him to back off?

Older people have run people down with cars–let’s confiscate those..Oh, right, that is the job of their kids–well, kids, can gramps shoot still? The govt needs to quit these lame and TRANSPARENT attempts to grab guns.

Star I appreciate your point that some people can not drive like they could in the early years. However there are some teenagers who don’t follow the rules of driving. There are some others that still carry a drink while driving. I understand that some older people people may not even have family members to take the keys away. However to have the government start knocking at doors to take their guns is not going to stop there, untill we are whispering to one another: What happened?
I never thought it would get this bad?
That reminds me of the article on Hillary and the speech code that Keith had on Redline.

Regardomg the vote today.
After I heard the news this morning, I had pulled up http://www.powerlineblog.com
There were three different articles regarding what Omri Cerel concluded in 3 emails he sent out about Kerry and Moniz’s news shows on Sunday.
I wrote down two pages of info that was mentioned.
The bottom line After everything they each stated Ceren determined we should expect walkbacks today on their answers in each catagory. Many in which are false, soon to be followed by a new set of talking points.
I was not familiar with Omri Ceren or his blog/website. If anyone here at WHD is. Please let me know.

Dum idea as usual. In Sierra Vista, AZ, several years ago an 82 yr old woman shot & killed a would be purse thief outside a grocery store. Everyone was very happy for her. 0 needs to get out of every aspect of our lives, we will be safer.

The Bill O’Reilly, the Mr. Constant Interrupter– to show you how clever he is– Show is all about Bill O’Reilly, the Ted Baxter of TV commentators. I always feel sorry for the guests, many of whom are serious and very knowledgeable. The guests are only ornaments designed to show how O’Reilly is “watching out for you”.

Check out website The American Conservative article written by Sydney Schanberg ‘McCain and the POW cover up.’
Trump does not owe McCain an apology..McCain and ‘others’ owe American Vietnam Vets ..All Vets more than apology..!

He said Trump (contains word rump I just noticed) did not owe him an apology–but all vets. McCain also mentioned he was pushing two bills to benefit vets…where does that fit in this scenario? Should McCain have apologized for that? He declined to comment on the Trump-draft evader theme.

Also–McCain said they needed to get someone good to run against McCain–he does have two people so far running in the primary against him–so either Trump did not know this or “does not like” them, either.
